CU Exposure is giving away free food on the second floor of Lerner now until 1 pm. Artwork by Columbia students is on display. Go appreciate your fellow students […]

CCSC gazed long into the abyss, Brian Wagner gazed back into them. Melissa Im, the president of Columbia’s chapter of the Ivy Council gave a presentation on why CCSC’s Bylaws should allow CCSC to play a large role in electing Ivy Council’s leadership. Ivy Council is an organization that gathers together members from all the Ivy […]

Fashions change, but tradition lives on. New Yorkers sported interesting Easter attire as they galavanted about yesterday. (AP, Examiner, Gothamist) Recent findings that the iPhone stores a log of its user’s location for the past ten months in an unencrypted file leaves some longing for cellphones past. A Latvian man has wedded the OED’s “twitter” with the Internet’s […]

Continuing our assistance for pre-frosh picking housing preferences, here is the second installment of Freshpeople Housing Review, in which we examine that most august residence hall, John Jay. John Jay is the other 100% first-year dorm. Rather than the double-double purity of Carman, the vast majority of JJ rooms are singles. There are a few […]

Yes we officially retired Bed Intruder references on Bwog but print journalism can’t always keep up with the times. We continue to respect our heritage/amorous affair with our mother-magazine, The Blue & White (see About) by posting each issue of the magazine online. The latest issue, available this week around campus, is a cornucopia of delights: the quest […]

Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege and luxury we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus that will hopefully make you realize how lucky we are to be here. Our recommendations for this week (and now posted on Sundays […]

As the labels of the three portraits in John Jay Lounge have all been peeled away, we recruited the intrepid Mahima Chablani to do some research and write a few new ones. Despite their apparent lack of identities, these men from the second dimension watch over our shoulders, reminding us that we are not merely […]

Suspend some disbelief, escape from work and continue on the great American Road Trip with College Days today before scrounging back to the library. Head over to Nashville (Revson Plaza by EC) for a BBQ folk fest with a live performance by Sam Reider and the Lost Boys, tasty BBQ buffet and t-shirts between 2 and 4 […]

We never heard from Cardomat about those really cool t-shirts, but Village Copier stepped up with its own. What kind of Morningside cat do you think it is?

Rain checks… they’re catching on. The annual Chicano Caucus Cinco de Mayo celebration on Low was postponed from this Sunday, April 24th, to next Sunday, May 1st on Revison Plaza (the plaza overlooking Amsterdam) because of the promised rain that looks highly unlikely to fall at this point.

(Fast Company/Arcade Fire) Columbia dramatically scales back its new public school for those affected by its multi-billion-dollar expansion, angering residents. Does this surprise you? (DNAinfo) NYU’s hawk Bobby […]

Le Bal Masquerade de College Days is tonight, and though Bwog’s inner francophile cringes at the butchered French of its title, it actually sounds like a pretty good time. Hosted by CCSC in Roone Arledge Auditorium from 9 pm to 1 am (Woo, partying past midnight—we really are in college!), this bal masqué marks the […]
